You should lose karma if you override it


You do, in a way. Only you lose real-life karma through diminished possibility for success :)

The procrast thing always seemed insanely odd to me. It's trivial to override and it seems like a diet plan akin to writing "don't eat me" on all the junk food in your house.

Read HN or do not. There is noprocrast.

Agreed. I imagine an ad, seen by a character in a Philip K. Dick novel:

"Noprocrast! The best way for current you to impose your will on future you, guaranteed! For the disciplinarian in all of us, at last, a ready and willing subject!"


For those of us that need it, it makes all kinds of sense. Figuring out better ways to control future me is an ongoing project of mine.

A couple weeks ago I gave my buddy $20, if I get my app out for sale by the end of the month I get it back, if not he spends it.
